Stupid things said by corporate media figures.

(some day I should just create a list and compile them)

 

Every now and then, people in the corporate media stray off script and reveal just what stupid thoughts percolate in their heads.

 

And then ... sometimes people like this say things like this -

 

"if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Osama bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death."

 

or ...

 

"The fact is, Americans in America have been safe since 9/11, almost the whole length of G2's term as president, and for that we should be thankful."

 

See how in trying to defend Bush/Cheney, how stupidity just flows? As difficult as it is, let's put aside the fact that he's essentially advocating US Armed Forces personel murder US Congressional representatives. What he fails to either understand or accept is that  9/11 happened on Bush's watch - that means he and his adminstration failed the United States.

 

But why am I surprised? His endnote sums it all up -

 

David Feherty is a golf analyst for CBS and the author of four books, including, most recently, An Idiot for All Seasons.

 

Mr. Feherty,

 

I suggest you go back to your commentary for what ever it is you do. Leave judging W and his impact on the world to more quailfied and honest people, like those that aren't right-wingers, or too limited in their thinking.
